Ostuni: the white city!
At the southern end of the Zona dei Trulli close to the sea is Ostuni (218m/719ft; pop. 32,000), a picturesque little town with white, rustic houses; on a hill stands the late Gothic cathedral (15th century)..
This is one of the endless beaches you can explore from Marina di Ostuni - when you're on the beach, you could even build your own trulli. These distinctive dwellings with whitewashed walls and conical roofs pepper the Puglian landscape and give the countryside a fairytale- like feel. You would have to build yours out of sand of course! After all the hard work of building your mini-castle, take a walk around the marina and smell the plentiful catches of the local fishermen in their nets. Then lunch in one of the seaside restaurants on freshly cooked fish while watching the boats nodding at you in the harbour. The nearby hill-top town of Ostuni, a tumble of dazzling white-washed houses and shops, is only 15 minutes away. Once the sun falls away over the olive and vine-clad hills, get your sequins out.
